Question by inthemiddleofnowhere: drugs. doctors. confusion!?
Hey there, My question is involving my husband more than myself, He has used paxil and adderall off and on for the last 8 years of his life, went off of it the last two years because he was traveling and just didnt bother with it. He is now back in the states and working a steady job as well as trying to attend school in the evenings. We have two little girls, and well basically without those two drugs he is no help at all just a fumbling mess. We have just moved into the town we live in and we havent established a family dr for us yet, just for our girls. So what i need to know is, When i get ready to schedule him an appt. what kind of dr do i need to be looking for? He gets only one full day off of work every month, so It would be convienent if he could get everything taken care of in one day rather than go to someone for a reference and then wait another month to go to another dr. Im just not knowledgable abotu these things, but he does need to get this taken care of.
oy. so some more clarification. He was off the medicine for two years, but he was very depressed, anxious and nearly tore our family apart. As far as his job goes, he loves his job, it makes a lot of money and he isnt looking for another one. the problems that he has are purely of being too worried and anxious and unable to focus. He has this job and doesnt want to lose it, but he freaks out at every little mistake he makes, school is also a whole other thing. Its hard on me as well, being that I am also working full time and then comnig home to what sometimes seems like 2 children instead of one. I want the person back who i knew was capable and able to be part of our family. this is his choice to seek help again and to medicate. My question wasnt what is wrong with my husband and what should we do, it was what is the best thing we can do when he have no drs records really and are new to town. thanks.
i meant 3 children instead of 2. gosh im all worked up now! haha

Question by ginasue81: I just tried to pull a small tick off my yorkie and it burrowed under the skin. What do I do?
I tried vaseline, then alcohol, then peroxide and then dish soap, nothing worked. I got a piece of it with the tweezers. I got another one off of him today, it has a reddish brown circle around it. We have him on Comfortis due to his allergies. Should I get him to the vet tonight or in the morning?

All the things you tried were the wrong things. To remove a tick you simply pull off with tweezers. The circle could be the normal red spot you get when a tick is removed but no way of knowing w/o seeing. From the CDC:

Question by Becca Lyons: I need help determining if this man is an alcoholic?
The first thing he does when he gets home from work everyday is chug a whole beer. Then on top of that he drinks keslers with a bit of Mountain Dew on it. He has a half foot tall glass that’s about 5 inches wide. He drinks about 3 or 4 glasses of it every day. He can’t go one day without drinking. If he goes long without a drink he gets really mean.

Best answer:

Answer by Katonoe
“He gets really mean,” is probably referring to him experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Yes, he is most likely an alcoholic.
